People shouldn't be benefiting from those assumptions, especially flawed assumptions positing basic competence and good faith. Governments, agencies, organizations, and companies are dealing in personal, valuable information that they have no clue how to handle or secure, and we keep seeing massive leaks and breaches, incompetence, lack of care, apathy, and even outright malice.

You shouldn't be trusting your data with anyone, short of NASA, probably (and they won't be asking for it.)
